Question for Republicans

[Miles]

Just curious.

[Torie]

Probably, but I would need to do a lot of due diligence first, to try to project where the state would be at fiscally down the road, as the federal subsidies are paired back, and what strings are attached, and what are the alternatives, if any.

As I have said time and again, all must be insured one way or the other (and for some, that essentially means the state will be paying all their bills for certain types of care).

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Yes.  As much as I oppose Obamacare and want to see it replaced, this is one part of it that I'd be more than happy to keep.

[TJ in Oregon]

Yes. When you're governor, you job is not to manage the federal government; it's to manage your state. And when the federal government is footing the bill for something to help poor people, you take the free money (assuming it is actually free to you of course).

Since I'll be voting in the Republican primary this June, I'll go ahead and answer, tho not vote in the poll above.  Assuming I was elected as a Republican, it would depend.  I'd want some assurances that if my State undertook the expansion and then later when the Feds no longer provide 100% of the funding that if my State wished to return to the pre-expansion level of Medicaid, it would be able to do that.  With that assurance, I'd do it.  Without it, I probably wouldn't.  If could I manage to cajole the General Assembly into spending more of its own money, there are other local needs I see as more pressing.
